Description

This creamy vegan broccoli soup is intensely creamy and 100% plant based! It’s an easy healthy soup that everyone loves (like broccoli cheese, but better).


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large yellow onion
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes (about 6 medium)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 quart vegetable broth
  • ½ cup raw unsalted cashews
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • 1 pound frozen broccoli florets (or 4 cups small steamed broccoli florets*)
  • 1 large carrot
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ¾ teaspoon dried dill
  • 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. Dice the onionMince the garlic. Peel the potatoes and cut them into bite-sized chunks.
  2. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the onion and saute for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add the vegetable broth, cashews and potatoes and ½ teaspoon kosher salt and bring to a boil. Reduce to a rapid simmer (not a boil), and simmer about 15 minutes until the potatoes are tender and falling apart when poked with a fork.
  3. Meanwhile, run the frozen broccoli under hot water to thaw it. Chop it into smaller florets as necessary. All packages are different, so make small bite-sized florets the size you’d like for a soup. You can chop the broccoli stems off and keep them in the soup as well. Place the broccoli in a bowl and mix it  with ¼ teaspoon kosher salt in a bowl and black pepper. Peel and grate the carrot into long strips (we used a handheld julienne shredder).
  4. When the potatoes are tender, use a ladle to transfer everything to a blender. Add the thyme, dill, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard and another ¼ teaspoon kosher salt. Hold the top tight and blend everything for a minute or two until fully creamy. (This quantity just fits in a standard blender.)
  5. Pour the creamy soup back into the pot and add the broccoli and carrot. Simmer about 5 more minutes until the broccoli is cooked through. Taste and add additional salt as necessary (we added ¼ teaspoon more).

Notes

*If you’re cooking fresh broccoli, here’s how to simulate frozen: Cut it into very small florets. Then steam it but cook it a few minutes longer so that it’s very tender (not crisp tender as indicated in the recipe). Leave out any seasoning, since you’ll add salt as part of the soup recipe.
